Y'all recall that I spent lots of time and took lots of
pics at the NORBA Nat's at Schweitzer last year? I burned
all 100+ photos on a CD and gave them to Wendy of Round
and Round, the promoter that puts on the WIM pnw

I was at the gym on the elliptical the other rainy day,
and on the FOX sports channel they were running an ad for
the WIM series, with a slide show of photos, with many of
mine. It took a moment to register what I

Cool. Nice job! My wife has been taking photos for the
newspaper lately, so needless to say there's been lots of
cycling coverage in the local paper recently. It cool to see
her work published and the money isn;t bad either!

getting paid? Now there's an idea. I don't consider my self
a "photographer" at all, just a connoisseur of snapshots.
But I guess if I take enough pics, I'll get a good one every
now and then.

She read an ad in the paper that said something like "We
need photos! To you like to take photos? Please contact...".

So she emailed them and asked about it. They asked for
samples so she sent in a bunch of recent photos and they
printed five of them the first week (at $15 each). They
are pretty much snapshots, but she does have a good eye
for it. They are all on point-n-shoot equipment (either 2
or 3.2 MP Sonys).

So now she goes to local events (Kindergarten graduation,
Dog walk/run Humane society benefit, etc) and takes photos
whenever she can. Pretty cool deal!

Hmmm... Considering what a freelance photo journalist gets
paid, the newspaper is getting off quite cheap. I never
really liked those freelancers anyway. Pushy [censored] who
get in front of you when your trying to take carnage photos.

True, but they have a bigger investment in their equipment,
and (hopefully) lots of experience. She's just out snapping
photos (which she does a lot anyway) and now gets
compensated for it if they like 'em. I imagine it could lead
to bigger and better things if it works out and that what
she wants to
do.This isn't exatly the New York Times either, it's a small
town weekly paper.
